The addition of cervical unilateral posterior-anterior mobilisation in the treatment of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome: a randomised clinical trial
Man Ther. 2014 Feb;19(1):18-24. doi: 10.1016/j.math.2013.05.007.Seventy-four patients with non-traumatic shoulder impingement syndrome were randomized to receive shoulder treatment either with or without neck mobilisation therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the combined neck and shoulder treatment was more effective in improving pain and disability outcomes, measured with a NPRS and the QuickDASH, respectively, upon discharge from care (Mean 56.1 days). Both groups experienced improvements, but the results suggest that the addition of neck mobilisation does not provide additional benefits.
